Space City Family,

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:9

As we have all been made aware, the COVID-19 Coronavirus is front and center on the world stage. What started overseas is now affecting our daily lives here in our country and our community. This pandemic has the attention of the Board of Directors here at Space City Tres Dias. I have been in contact with our governing body at Tres Dias International as well as other community presidents and our host camp director gathering information. In addition, we are all monitoring directives from the CDC, health officials on the state and local levels as things are changing in some cases hourly.

It is out of an abundance of caution that the Board has elected to CANCEL THE TEAM MEETING SCHEDULED FOR 3/21.

With regards to Space City Tres Dias Weekend #3, we will continue to monitor this situation and communicate regularly on developments. As of this time, preparations for the weekend continue, and a determination will be made on the status of the upcoming weekend at an appropriate time in the future. We promise to keep you posted on developments as decisions are made.

President’s op-ed:
During times such as this there’s a wide range of views and opinions that our family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors will experience. These will range anywhere from total hysteria to complete denial. This is not for us to judge right from wrong. However, as a Christian community I believe that we need to stay focused on Jesus and not be tossed to and from based on what our eyes see and ears hear. Instead we should surrender all of our thoughts, emotions, and our entire lives to Him. Pray for the many people around us that may feel the financial, emotional, and perhaps physical effects of the virus. Our communities, like never before, need us to exercise the gifts God has given us and to love and lead like we are commanded to do. Finally, PRAY, PRAY, and PRAY some more. Pray for our leaders as they lead us through this crisis. Pray for all those infected with the virus. Pray for protection and provision for our families and our communities. Pray that through this HE would be glorified and that people would come to know HIM as a result.

In Him,
Terry Hurd

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. – 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
